Carbon blade for long pips

The problem with your question is that you assume that you can use carbon layer on the long pips side of a chopping blade.pdxpong wrote: Apr 6, 2022 #1
This may be a silly question but I've never played with pips before and would like to try chopping with long pips. I have many blades but they are all carbon offensive blades. I would prefer not to buy a new blade for the long pips as it's just experimental. Is chopping with long pips doable with a carbon blade? It seems like most choppers use slower all wood blades.
Also, of the current blades that I have which do you think would be the best to use for chopping with long pips?
-Timo Boll ALC
-Viscaria
-Xiom AZX
-Tibhar Kinetic Speed
-Stiga Dynasty Carbon
-DHS HL5
-Viscaria Super ALC
-Zhang Jike SZLC
Thanks for your input
You cannot.
There exists no commerical blades for a chopper in the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era. You need too make a custom blade with asymmetric layer composition. If you want carbon on the non chopping side , that is fine but that should be isolated from the chopping layers as far away as possible such as with a 10 mm or balsa core.
Ricospin made a correct response to your post (post #2 in this thread) where he explains higher dwell time needed to maximize the back spin to create the best looper torture index.
